The Algarve will be the only transition region in Portugal, announced David Santos, president of the Commission for Regional Coordination and Development (CCDR), during a meeting with the representative of the European Union Regional Policy (DG Regio) Rosalina Bernon.
"An extra financial envelope of one billion euros has been defined for the country and the Algarve will be the only Transitional region in Portugal, for which reason it may aspire to a reinforcement of 75 million euros", revealed David Santos.
